Feel like if it was another country they’d be sanctions or something already.

    Never fails to surprise me that there are people in the US who expect the world to fix this for them. Sorry, it’s your country, you’ll have to figure out how to take it back. In the mean time the rest of us will work out new trade deals with other countries and arm ourselves in case your government decides to take their shit across the border.

        Also worth noting that it is “everyone’s problem” as soon as US turns his military against other countries.

        For now it is Venezuela and maybe Nigeria,

        But here at South America we are “bracing for impact” even though we aren’t Venezuela per se.

        Trump already told he wants to annex Canada, Panama, Greenland and Vance already vented his distaste against Europe.

        It is just a matter of time before US turns against Europe.

        And then it will suddenly be a “World’s problem” because it only is a problem when the western civilization gets the wrong end of the stick.

        Fair, I made an assumption, however my general point still stands. on various SM sites I use, I’ve encountered quite a few from the US who have asked us Canadians to invade them, or for some other country to bomb them, it’s wild 🥴

      Look, as an American, all I’m asking for is a little extrajudicial redition of Musk and Thiel by South Africa. If we could just get rid of some of the malevolent billionaires that have made the pilgrimage to the land of greed, we might stand a chance of holding on to some of our civil liberties.
